Chef Hank Meadows was a well known personality on WTCN-TV, frequently delivering meals to Casey Jones. He hosted a daily cooking show, which ran for 15 years on channel 11.  He promoted his program by creating the “Tired Housewives Club,” who would meet monthly for lunch with local celebrities.   The group at one point claimed 4500 members.   Following his time in Minneapolis, Hank hosted a cooking shows in South Dakota and Florida.

Besides being a well known television chef, Hank Meadows was a local Twin Cities gourmet.  He was the “executive chef” at McGuire’s Restaurant, Schriek’s Cafe, and his own Royal Market & Restaurant.

It is claimed that Hank started as a cook when he was 14, shortly after his parents died.   He later was a cook for the Civilian Conservation Corps, and then the US Navy.   He developed his skills as a cook at the Athens Club in Oakland, California.  Over the years he won many awards and was a member of the Academy of Chefs.

Throughout his career he published a number of popular cookbooks.  His Chicken and Poultry cookbook reportedly sold 300,000 copies.   All the copies I’ve seen of Cooking with Hank were autographed.  Most of these are available on Amazon and Ebay.

If you have a problem with your item please do not give me a negative or neutral rating or file a grievance until you email me the reason why you are not happy with the item. We do not read minds to see what you are having problems with.  I do the packing to the best of my ability, but sometimes the post office is not too delicate with items, and although rare, I do make mistakes occasionally, please be understanding, GIVE ME TIME TO DO WHAT I CAN DO. Items come from a smoke free household. I ship on Tuesdays and Fridays and most items are shipped by parcel post or Fedex  and books, CDs, DVD's, video games etc. by media mail but there is usually an option to use priority mail on the invoice I send you. Buyer is to pay shipping unless noted otherwise in listing- I live at the Bottom of Florida and the post office charges postage by distance, so most states are postal zone 8 and a lot farther away from me than if I were in the middle of the country.   We pack these items well but everyone is at the mercy of the postal service. Please check out my other listings, I try to keep a wide variety listed.   "Return Policy"----I do not accept returns unless the item I have sold is completely different from what I have listed. If the item is not as I have listed, or pictured, then it is an option. If the item arrives damaged by the post office that is not something that I did. I package the items well and books are wrapped in plastic and put in a bubble mailer. I try to protect the items the best that I can. I will refund money if the item is returned to me--if it is broken due to something that I did.
